Exploring the Places No One is Talking About
The prompt this last week was dreams – open to any interpretation of that. Even though I decide on the prompts, I had no idea what I was going to write about when I sat down to write this one. It’s not my best but at least I got something on the page. What do

So this series has been very delayed. It was never meant to be delayed this long I just didn’t get around to it because I got busy and distracted with life. So I’m playing catch-up. Blame the video editing – it takes forever and I’m still working on my book. Yes, I’m actually working on
